Woodturning - Baseball bat - Basswood / Linden / Lime wood

Описание: Hello and welcome to the channel. In this video I take a log of basswood (Lime) approximately 33 inches long and make a baseball bat on the woodturning lathe.

The vast majority of this turn was done with a spindle roughing gouge and the wood was still fairly green. I expect some warping but I have further plans for this piece and will be decorative, stay tuned.

Burnished with the shavings an no finish applied, yet.
